Birmingham 2010

Last week it was time for us to renew our visas again, so we headed to Birmingham AL to visit my sister and family and thankfully my parents came down to visit as well. It was such a fun trip, that was packed full of stuff.

The first thing was seeing Caleb sing in his Spring School Program. I felt so proud seeing my cute little nephew up there sing, dance, and play the best imaginary guitar solo ever. It was glimpse of what life could be like as a "normal" aunt, its the simple moments like this that I miss being in the States for and loving and supporting family.


Ellie felt the need to sing and dance along with the big kids.


Lucy loved seeing Caleb's school and we were invited afterwards to his classroom to view his art projects. Lucy thought Caleb's school was the coolest ever, considering her school here in Honduras isn't quite up to these standards.


They loved sitting at the desks, eating cookies, and meeting all of Caleb's friends.


After nap time we headed out for family pictures in the classic white shirt, and jean combination. Usually family pictures are a very big ordeal but the kids took it in stride and loved showing off and being pretty for the pictures, making it a very pleasant experience.


Then it was off to the Super Target. What trip to the States would be complete without a big shopping trip, spending lots of money on all the American consumerism stuff you miss out on!



Stay tuned for more pictures of the week to come.
